what I am curious about is what the average download per hour is for a service like this. Mainly because of so many ISP's slathering over caps and overages to boost profit and to put down broadband video as a competitor to traditional cable or telco TV. Some places up north in canada have stupid low caps like 5 gig and lower. That and there are so many under served areas in the US when it comes to broadband. A lot of people just don't think about the huge areas of dial up that are still out there.

Well this type of service would unfortunately not be targeted to these areas/people. It's not like they shouldn't go on with this project just because some internet users couldn't utilize it. I understand what you mean I just don't see how it matters since millions and millions of people could use the service just fine. People that unfortunately live in dial-up only areas do so by choice(for the most part) and probably couldn't play any MMO very easily even with a decent gaming computer.
